Lorde said:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe master\u2019s tools\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

will never dismantle\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

the master\u2019s house.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You might make a dent<\/span><\/p>\n

But that don\u2019t mean the cat<\/span><\/p>\n

Won\u2019t catch the mouse,<\/span><\/p>\n

Like Tom & Jerry.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stop trying to get their tools<\/span><\/p>\n

And set them to a different mission<\/span><\/p>\n

Without the comprehension<\/span><\/p>\n

…and, should I mention?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t unpin them from walls<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t buy them from malls<\/span><\/p>\n

You won\u2019t learn it in their hallowed halls.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Did the master build those tools<\/span><\/p>\n

Or get someone else to make them?<\/span><\/p>\n

Cut the legs beneath the future<\/span><\/p>\n

Before we have the chance to meet it<\/span><\/p>\n

You can see what they got,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But if you want fulfillment<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find out that you don\u2019t really need<\/span><\/p>\n

To do what they do\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can\u2019t get where they are\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By putting on somebody else\u2019s shoes.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She told us to think out of the box<\/span><\/p>\n

To break out the locks\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That bind, blinding the mind<\/span><\/p>\n

To other options\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Get outta their shed<\/span><\/p>\n

Get right in your head<\/span><\/p>\n

Recenter those with the\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

least historical power<\/span><\/p>\n

Build community foundations<\/span><\/p>\n

While you knock over their tower<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Remember you are not workhorses<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s always more recourses<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s more about the heart of the people\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Than it is the resources<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
